About eWillys
Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
“1947 Willy’s Jeep. Engine, Transmission, transfer case, and radiator have been rebuilt. It runs but needs to be re-tuned. It was tuned with the choke on. Other than a larger size brake and different seats it is all original. Great for off-roading!”
Looks like a good price. Has some updates. Listed as a 1949, but it has a 2A body. Mostly likely a ’48 2A.

There have been a few mods to the jeep, but it runs and stops.

Very Solid running and stopping 1947 Willys CJ2A. Very nice solid platform to do a full restoration. Needs a full exhaust! New starter, lots of brake components, tune up etc. Priced to sell call today.”
(10/17/2016) “Awesome Jeep with a lot done to it. Chevy 327 V8 engine with a Holley spread bore 4 barrel carb, Muncie 4 speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case. Factory hard top with doors. I have a new soft top for it as well. Dual exhaust. Spring over axle conversion. Front springs shackle reversal. Updated power steering, power brakes and tilt steering column. 15 gallon CJ fuel tank mounted under the body in the rear between the frame rails. The original fuel tank under driver’s seat has been removed. Could be replaced, I don’t like sitting on it. 33×12.5 tires. New: drive shafts, water pump, radiator, battery, shocks and steering damper.”
Has an f-head and a few non stock parts, but still might be worth a look. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was very little rust. The Watsonville area is pretty dry. I lived in nearby Aptos for a few years.
“Willys Overland CJ -2A
refit with F-Head engine
Frame up Overhaul 1986-87
Stored in the garage for 25 years
Runs and looks great ,no rust”
(06/24/2013) Given it doesn’t look like there was any gas filler on the driver’s side, I’m not sure what body this is front. Maybe DJ or repro? Looks like a nice build.
